My friend Chas is having a blog contest, so stop on over and read her wonderful entries and leave a comment.
Master, the tempest is raging!
The billows are tossing high!
The sky is o’ershadow with blackness,
No shelter or help is nigh;
Carest Thou not that we perish?
How canst Thou lie asleep,
When each moment so madly is threatening
A grave in the angry deep?
Refrain
The winds and the waves shall obey Thy will,
Peace, be still!
Whether the wrath of the storm tossed sea,
Or demons or men, or whatever it be
No waters can swallow the ship where lies
The Master of ocean, and earth, and skies;
They all shall sweetly obey Thy will,
Peace, be still! Peace, be still!
They all shall sweetly obey Thy will,
Peace, peace, be still!
Master, with anguish of spirit
I bow in my grief today;
The depths of my sad heart are troubled
Oh, waken and save, I pray!
Torrents of sin and of anguish
Sweep o’er my sinking soul;
And I perish! I perish! dear Master
Oh, hasten, and take control.
Refrain
Master, the terror is over,
The elements sweetly rest;
Earth’s sun in the calm lake is mirrored,
And heaven’s within my breast;
Linger, O blessèd Redeemer!
Leave me alone no more;
And with joy I shall make the blest harbor,
And rest on the blissful shore.
Refrain
I love Christmas. I love the chatter of planning gifts, The smell of apple cider cooking (but I’ll drink hot chocolate instead), the stocking hung by the woodburning stove with care, The tree lit up with lights and ornaments (but this year I get to decorate my kitchen doorway, cd’s playing away with carols sung to our Lord, and of course the time when people really think about Jesus. Some people focus so much on remembering Jesus because it is His time, others do forget the meaning of Christmas, while still others (like hubby and myself) take the time to remember Him through the Word, giving gifts and remembering THE Gift, enjoying the season, and so much more.
Every year the celebration starts and Thanksgiving. We give thanks to God for all His blessing throughout the year and throughout history. We enjoy that bounty over dinner and during the day we rest. We also enjoy the fact that everyone else is enjoying the day and the streets are hushed, the normal business of the day is quiet. The day after thanksgiving we usually get a tree. This year however, we will not be getting one. We have no room. So hubby dearest let me decorate the doorway with swags and white lights and candycanes. Ahhhh, what beauty is before my eyes. The shephers cane, the blood, the pure white of Him who died for me.
We had a most interesting year. I got pregnant in Jan. found out in Feb. Sick by March, well again by June almost July, and had our little Jr. Muffin by Oct. Yes, I am speaking of Euphemia, our Emma. I also had my first hospital stay and I finally got my drivers liscense. We are just now getting medical bills on top of the other expensive bills. I feel like we are being hit all at once. Mortage due, credit card due (for Emma’s PKU test) Dr. bill due (2 mortage payments), radiologist bill due, Insurance premium due, 2 other hospital bills due…. Christmas gifts, I am making all I can. I love to give and I am finding useful tips for giving things that I can make but arent going to be cheapo looking.
Merry Christmas to all. Enjoy this season. O come Emmanuel, God is with us!
A house, it is our home and here is our update;
So, its been an eventful week. This past weekend my dear hubby built some shelves in our closet for my fabric so it isnt all over the floor! YAY! It was even more special not only because he made them (staying up til 10-11pm doing it) but also because he used my cedar chest wood. The cedar chest had had it and I was sorry to see it go, but hubby has put the wood to good use. They will hold my fabric dear and keep em smelling good too!
Euphemia and her feedings. Well we are still using the sheild on the one side. The left side has healed up nicely and she can be on wrong and I dont notice. EEK! But on the other hand it means that things are looking up. She slept for 6 hours straight last night. Oh thank you Emma! I know I was crying while you were up for those three hours while I had a headache and just wanted some sleep but honey, go ahead and do it some more if it means I can get sleep like that. Of course if you snored a bit louder that would be great too cause then I wouldnt be worried if you were alive or not.
I talk so much about the problems we are having to face but in this entry I NEED to mention how much fun Euphemia is. She has the same character and she had in the womb. She has a sweet side to her that we love to cuddle with. She sleeps like a rosebud. But as the poem says, when she’s bad, she’s horrid… ok, she is not THAT bad but it is a bit trying and you want to give in to her cute little screams. But no, I am not going to pay for that later. Papa loves his little daughter. If he knew the song I bet that he could go around the house humming,
“I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day…
When it’s cold outside, I’ve got the month of may…
I guess you’d say, ‘what can make me feel this way…’
MY GIRL! MY GIRL!”
Yep, that’s what we are, Daddy’s grils! 
Emma dear has decided she misses Papa so much that she will wail out her opinions. But even still, when Papa gets home she still fusses and complains about his absence. Still we are not taking enough notice of her so she will complain far into the night, sleep for a couple hours and fuss a few more hours. On the bright side, feedings are begining to look up! Thank you Lord. I read Psalm 117 to Euphemia today as we were being fed (me spiritually and her more physically). I was ashamed at how quickly I could go from one problem to another, complain to God and yet when He “fixes” it I show Him another area that needs fixing. That song that the Kingston Trio sings, “Where have all the flowers gone?” There is a line in there that says, “When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?” That’s kind of how my walk with God is. Life can throw some pretty curved balls your way but I am determind that though the walls fall around me I shall continue to praise Him. Why shouldn’t I? The Lord has done great things for us, therefore we shall rejoice!!!!!!!
On the more mundane list of things, I finished Andra’s quillow today. Her birthday was the 17th but I couldnt sit properly at the sewing table to make her birthday gift. I am sure she will like it and as soon as i can, I will take a picture to show off this adorable thing. I love Walmart! Cute fabric so cheap! MY kind of living!
Pictures of the finished project:
All folded up
opened up.
Feeding is not a natural easy thing for everyone. I am going to try not to turn this into too big of a untrue rant but I just wanna scream. Nothing seems to fall into place right now. Even my poor husband is at his wits end on what to do to feed Euphemia and save my feeding equipment.
Seems like that takes up the whole day. We are so lucky to have such an understanding boss. David is going to come home periodically throughout today and we are going to have a go at feeding her.
A friend sent me this link to help me http://www.wiessinger.baka.com/bfing/howworks/latchtalk.html
Unfortunetly Emma closes her mouth too soon and we have to fight her hands. Swaddling just doesnt work as she is too strong and independent for that.
She still makes us smile. She still has her loveable moments. But when it comes to feeding, it better be here and now! Goodness girl, Mama needs a bit of a break!!!!!!!!!!
